Weaknesses and Resistances

Abilities

Whenever the user is hit by another Pokémon's Fire-type attack, it absorbs all damage and effects of that attack, then raises the power of the user's Fire-type attacks by 1.5x as long as it is on the field. (This power bonus does not stack if hit multiple times.) (Works even while frozen.)

Has a 30% chance of inflicting burn to an attacker that hits the user with a direct attack. Out of battle: If the user is in the party, eggs hatch roughly twice as quick as usual. (Does not stack with other Magma Armor or Flame Body abilities.)

I like to set a nature of -atk +sp atk / other way around for all my pokemon unless its a pokemon that would be better if something else was lowered like a pokemon with analytic would be better with lower speed... wuteva point it chandelures one of my favorites and kicks ass with heatwave and a fire gem in a triple battle

It's not that weird really. On my Platinum playthrough, I thought my Infernape Sunny Day and Solarbeam.

:) *a cute "Gather round, children!" jingle plays* As you know, Solarbeam is a Grass-type move and effective against Rock, Ground and Water. Sunny Day is a move that not only boosts Fire-type and allows use of Solarbeam on the turn it is used but it also weakens Water-type attacks which is what Fire-types are weak to. Sunny Day is a great defensive and offensive move for a Fire-type, which is fast but don't possess much of a defense to speak of, fighting a Water-type. Use Sunny Day to weaken their attacks, then cook those Water-types with Solarbeam *Infernape grins*

EV training is done based on how you would use him, but I usually always train their best stat to 252, and another to help how i would use them. for Chandelure i would use Inferno, Hex, Calm Mind, and Confuse ray for my move set. Inferno does dmg and burns 100%, Hex should double in dmg because they are burned and calm mind boosts my Sp. Atk, so he's meant to do a lot of damage fast. Throw in confuse ray to cause chaos. So I would either put 252 more points in speed so im first and use confuse ray or health because that's what he's really lacking in, he's a bit of a glass cannon with low health and mediocre defense.
